Letters Patent No. 106,7 61, dated August 30, 1870.

IMPROVEMENT IN NECK-TIES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MoRrrz ALTMAN. of the city and county of Baltimore,and State of Maryland, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvementin Neck-Ties; and I do hereby declare the following to' be a full,clear, and exact description thereof', sufivtral section throughonevot'the wings ot' the neck-tie.

Figure 3 is a fronttview of' the clasp;

Figure 4, a rear view ofthe same;

Figures 5, 6, and 7 are sections; and l Figure 8, a rear view; allshowing modifications in the construction of the clasp, as will behereinafter more particularly referred to. Similar letters of referenceindicate like parts in .the several Igures.

The'natureof my invention consists- First, in providing the 4tiewith alining of calf,'an1i securing the same to the material composing thefront of the tie, by simply cementing the edges and pressing the partstogether, whereby a fine appearance is imparted, and all sewing isdispensed with.

In the drawinga represents the central portion of the tie; b b', thewings; and c, the clasp.

The tie is made ot any suitable material, `as silk,

satin, linen, paper, Stc., and isprovided withl a lining, d, preferablyof calt'. The lining` is attached to the frontsimply by pressure aroundthe edges in a press adapted for the purpose. e represents the pressedsurface, forming aborder all around the wings. This pressure `causes thematerial composing the front' ot the tie to raise up, as shown in tigs.l'and 2, giving a iine, finished appeal'- ance. By this mode ot`-securing the parts together, the necessity of cutting the .front to anexact shape is dispensed with, as the uneven edge is turned under andcovered by the lining. Sewing being entirely dispensed with, a greatsaving in the manufacture is effee-ted. i v

-I.wi1l now describe the preferred construction of the clasp, and willafterward refer to several modifications thereof', which may be made andused with more or less success.

c represents the front of the clasp, which may be struck up into anysuitable shape, and with or without an ornamental design. i

fis the inner portion or plate, which is secured in place by turningdown the upper and lower edges of the outer part, as shown in iig. 4,the central portion a of' the neck-tie being contined between the two lplates.

To the inner part f is hinged a plate, g, provided with a catch at thelower end, which engages with the edge ofthe frame.

1n the plate gis anopening, h, of such size and vshape at the bottom astotit over al collar button, while its upper part is narrow, to receiveonly the shank. r,lhis will be readily understood by refel'ence Fig. 5shows a modification in which the plate g is rigidly attached to theupper .part of the frame, its lower end being entirely free.'

Fig. 8 is aback View of this modiiication.

The plate g' may be hingedto the front part of the clasp, which isturned back for the purpose, as shown in tig. 6, instead ot' to the backplate.

:In tig. 7 the clasp is s hown as consisting simply ot' afront part, c,and the bingedplate g, the edges of part c being bent overto conne thematerial composing the tie.

The tie may be 'applied to the collar-button with the' plate g, eitherunclasped or fixed. It is readily applied, either' side up, andafterward adjusted, and can bedetached without the least trouble.

Added to the features ot' economy in the manufacture, and readyattachment and4 detachment, this tie possesses the'advantage of'remaining'in position, presenting a good appearance.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire. to secure by Letters Patent, is

The herein-described neck-tie, a, b b', with a lining, d, attachedasdescribed, and provided'with a clasptor tasteliing, constructed'substantially as speciied.

. To the above speciiication of my invention I have signed my name, this23d day of July, 1870, in the presence' of two subscribing witnesses.

MORITZ ALTMAN.
